NYC probes how kids got flu shots without consent



NEW YORK - New York City's Health Department is investigating how two schoolchildren got swine flu vaccinations without their parents' consent.

The Health Department says neither child suffered ill effects, but it is taking measures to prevent future mistakes.

In Brooklyn, Naomi Troy says her daughter, Nikiyah Torres-Pierre, was taken to a hospital with a possible allergic reaction after getting the shot.

Troy told the Daily News she had not consented because she'd been waiting for advice from Nikiyah's doctor. The 6-year-old has epilepsy.

A teacher apparently sent the wrong girl to the Health Department nurse, who didn't double-check the name.

The department says the vaccine is safe for children with epilepsy.

The other incident occurred on Staten Island; the details were not known.

Pray for Us


U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the senate judiciary committee and basically shrugged when asked if any other enemy combatant captured overseas had ever been brought to civilian criminal court to face justice. Talk about an incompetent boob, not to mention a disgrace.
